[p4p-champ]

You mofos are still listening to what Bob Arum has to say? Quit being so ***in gullible.

fck manny and floyd... cant beleive these are the 2 guys who represent the sport, they are in their prime, same weight class, and havent fought each other, smh. i respect hopkins more than any of em clowns

This fight will never happen. I thought it was just Arum and Manny, but since Floyd said he wouldn't do a 50-50 split, that means its him too. These guys are rich, plain and simple. Why can't they do a 50-50 split? Boxing is not a sport anymore, its pure business now. That's killing it. 10 years from now, the sport mite not exist in the forefront. It'll be an underground type situation. Blame it on Arum, Floyd, and Manny!!!

I've just been re-watching the cause of the Mayweather animosity to Arum, and remember when it occurred but had forgotten about it. Mayweather has indeed a small and juvenile mind. I'dswitched on his first Castillo fight, which in my candid opinion Mayweather lost 116-112 or even 117-111. Pure home cooking for Mayweather.

There were only a couple of thousand at the fight, and Merchant remarked on it describing Mayweather as "regarded as one of the best fighters in the world..." and continued....."...

"His father daid that if he had any problem with the promoter he should look in the mirror at some of his behaviour outside of the ring..." and continued.... "Arum said it dated back a while to the time when Britany Spears was perorming in the same room...... and Brittany Spears had a huge sign outside (shown) and Mayweather demanded from Arum, (right before the fight, I think), one exactly like it. It cost $150,000 and Arum didn't see any profit in it and refused"

And Merchant continued, (no doubt thinking of the small attendance,) "at least she had sold out this arena several times........"

So there we have it, whether you like tor not. Small and malicious, and not conected to any financial corruption or stealing Mayweather's purse as he likes to talk about.

hey mr ED, i liked you better as a talking horse you made much better sense then. your post is a rambling boiling pot of pure nothing. perhaps you should take time to organize your hate filled post into something logical people can understand. your god in two fights with marquez sold a total of 750k ppv while floyd in one fight v JMM did 950k pac was the proverbial nobody until arum cooked up the scheme to PRETEND to want to fight floyd and hype manny with careful matchmaking designed to make him look far better than he really was/is and paint floyd as afraid of the hype job with little boxing skill. so go eat some carrots and give it a better try next time hater.

floyd should do everything he can to get this fight done to justiy him not being in prison already.

pac should stop being under the thumb of scumbag arum.

arum should be made to wear a lie detector at all times so he cant keep on b/s everyone.

should pac and arum not get mayweather and not try hard enough / be difficult and dodge from thier end then any fight pac takes should be boycotted and campaigned and slandered in the media and at the weigh ins ect and no one should buy the fights,watch the fights,and should give pac such immense hate that he folds and tells arum to go to work for once with the mayweather fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is just pretending that he is ready to fight Manny Pacquiao but the truth is he is scared to death fighting Manny. He will do anything in his capability to stay away from the Pacman. The world is already tired of the posturing that chicken Floyd is doing and the world already expressed their opinion about this. During the Mayweather/Ortiz fight the PPV sold was at a very embarrassing low keeping HBO very quiet. People around the world already knows that any Mayweather fight if it is not against Manny Pacquiao will just be another comedy show. If Mayweather does not agree to a 50/50 split to fight Manny Pacquiao...then this is just another excuse he will use to duck the Pacman again. If he does not like to fight the Pacman...Manny can fight another fighter and the people would love to see any Manny Pacquiao fight. Of course the whole world can't hardly wait to see Manny Pacquiao giving chicken Floyd the beating of his life and Floyd himself knows the type of beating he will get from the hands of Manny Pacquiao.

Did he? Maybe, lets wait and see. Because this is starting to sound like that Tim Smith e-mail that Teddy Atlas was talking about, the one that never got tabled, and everyone forgot.

You are just pretending..... to be a boxing fan.

Come on man, the jig is up

[flint]

pac and arum will use anything as a road block to no make this fight happen.in the beginning floyd agreed to all their demands and when he brought up testing.pacs excuses started flying since.eardrum,date changes,politics,states,now its cuts,50-50,build a outside stadium.pac is ducking and arum is scared.

[Rolaz]

50-50 is fair enough.

Pacman has the World Record, P4P, BWAA' Fighter of the Decade, and FOTY; and has proven that he is a PPV Star.
